There is a register link.

Ok, while True is bad and blocking.  I think you should look at
twisted.web2.static.FileSaver, if it doesn' perform a function close
enough to what you want it is a good example of the right way to handle
uploaded files as far as reading. (Hint it's to use things in the
twisted.web2.stream library)  I expect your problems will go away but
you might still want to file a documentation enhancement bug stating
that how to do this kind of thing is completely undocumented.
